As we get closer and closer to the NFL Draft, the Bears’ draft picture becomes clearer and clearer. The first wave of free agency is done, and the Bears completely reshaped their linebacker and running back corps, while adding a little help on the offensive line and defensive line. Ryan Poles is expected to add even more help on both lines in the draft, and could add talent at several more positions, like cornerback, tight end and wide receiver. Bottom line, there are still a lot of holes on this roster, so the Bears simply need to add the best talent they can find as they try to transition from tearing the roster down to building it back up again. As always, these mock drafts aren’t an attempt to accurately predict what will happen when the picks start coming in for real on Apr. 27. That’s impossible. These mock drafts are meant to be a fun way to introduce fans to a wide variety of NFL prospects. Additionally, PFF’s mock draft tool hasn’t added the Bears’ conditional seventh round pick yet (No. 258) so it is not included.
